Default Any Good Alignment Shops in Nassau County LI?

Title says it all.. Looking to get a 2014 Aligned and it seems finding a good place is harder then we thought. Looking Nassau county maybe just over the boarder..

Thanks

Thank you on all counts buddy. I know VDoc;s is good for performance but I don't think they have alignment equipment (ala hunter, Snap o 3d..etc) within.

I used Camber Toe in Lynbrook. They got everything correct even tried to get the rear castor dialed in using manual measuring without the tool. Car feels a lot better and I'm very happy. They have aligned all my cars and they do the specs you want.

The only other option was to go to DSC Sport 250 miles away but I don't need to now.

Thank you Taimur. I was looking at Camber Toe but I thought they only did imports. Dang, they are close too.

I wound up making an appointment at TKX in Huntington for Saturday.
They do American muscle and high end euro suspensions. Will see how it goes..

Good to know. Did they have the rear caster tool? If no, what did they do with the rear caster setting?


What specs are your new specs?

Yes they did. My car was sooooo off (after being aligned from a dealer)
I'll have to get my sheet for the specs. I originally went in because the car pulled to the right. Dealer gave it back and still pulled.

Now its pin straight. HOWEVER I also had a situation where at dead lock right the wheel will NOT return to center!

Even this last shop could not fix it or really put their finger on why...

I haven't been to TKX Performance, but I exchanged several emails with the owner, and I'll say this. He was prompt to respond, and his responses were well written and thorough. From all I've seen and read they definitely seem like a great place to go for quality chassis/suspension work.

If I ever need any suspension work or have problems with my Pfadt coilovers, that's definitely where I plan on going.
